Genesis Bootstrap Carousel (GBC) allows you to create a simple responsive image carousel that displays the featured image, along with the title and excerpt from each post. 
GBC is based off of the Genesis Responsive Slider and uses a lot of the same code. The main difference is that the Genesis Bootstrap Carousel uses the Carousel 
jquery plugin created by the open source Twitter Bootstrap Project. The carousel.js in this plugin is roughly 1/4 the size of the jquery flexslider.js used by 
the Genesis Responsive Slider. The CSS in this plugin is about half the size of the Genesis Responsive Slider plugin. Genesis Bootstrap Carousel also includes 
options to easily disable the CSS and JS of the plugin, allowing you to move scripts or styles into a combined file inside your theme. GBC also uses CSS for the 
next/previous arrows, avoiding an HTTP request and allowing easy customization via CSS. You may also choose what specifc post/page IDs the carousel JS and CSS get loaded on. 
This way you can avoid loading assets on pages that are not using the Carousel and avoid unnecessarily increasing page load time.
It includes options for the maximum dimensions of your slideshow, allows you to choose to display posts, pages, custom post types, what category to pull from, and even the 
specific post IDs of the posts you want to display. It includes next/previous arrows that can be turned on or off. Finally, you can place the carousel into a widget area. 
The image carousel is also responsive and will automatically adjust for the screen it is being displayed on.
You can get information on how the carousel.js works by visiting the <a href="http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#carousel" title="Carousel Section" rel="nofollow ugc">Carousel Section</a> of the Twitter Bootstrap site.

<h3>Child Theme Integration</h3>
To adjust the carousel defaults for a child theme use a filter simiar to the following:
<pre><code>add_filter( 'bootstrap_carousel_settings_defaults', 'my_child_theme_bootstrap_carousel_defaults' );

function my_child_theme_bootstrap_carousel_defaults( $defaults ) {
 $defaults = array(
 'post_type' => 'post',
 'posts_term' => '',
 'exclude_terms' => '',
 'include_exclude' => '',
 'post_id' => '',
 'posts_num' => 5,
 'posts_offset' => 0,
 'orderby' => 'date',
 'carousel_interval' => 5000,
 'carousel_arrows' => 1,
 'carousel_no_link' => 0,
 'carousel_width' => '940',
 'carousel_height' => '380',
 'carousel_excerpt_content' => 'excerpts',
 'carousel_excerpt_content_limit' => 150,
 'carousel_more_text' => 'Continue Reading',
 'carousel_excerpt_show' => 1,
 'carousel_excerpt_width' => 100,
 'location_vertical' => 'bottom',
 'location_horizontal' => 'left',
 'carousel_hide_mobile' => 1,
 'html5_docytpe' => 0,
 'disable_css' => 0,
 'disable_js' => 0
 );
 return $defaults;

Genesis Bootstrap Carousel

This plugin allows you to create a simple responsive image carousel that displays the featured image, along with the title and excerpt from each post.

The Genesis Grid plugin was design to allow users of the Genesis theme to easily display their posts in a grid format.
“Features” are full-width posts at the top of the listing. “Teasers” are the posts broken into columns. You can set the number of Features and Teasers for both the homepage and inner pages, and how many columns the teasers are broken into.
You can also specify the image sizes used for Features and Teasers. I recommend setting Features for Large, and Teasers for Medium. Then go to Settings > Reading and set the dimensions of those images as needed. If you have already uploaded images, use the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to rebuild the thumbnails at these dimensions. If images aren’t showing up, make sure you have “Include featured images” checked in Genesis > Theme Settings > Content Archives
Finally, you can specify where the grid loop is used by checking Home, Category Archives, Tag Archives, Taxonomy Archives, Author Archives, and/or Search Results. See the Developers section for more fine-grained control.
